The ferry is not the most cost effective way to get a family of five into the city, but it sure is fun, if a bit windy on the bow. We brought along a new card game, Rat-A-Tat Cat, that Moose was given for his birthday and played a few rounds on the way over.
There was the most awesome play structure at the park near the ice cream stand. Not surprisingly it was of German design (they seem to create the coolest toys).
We finally got around to trying the ice cream. The premise of Smitten is that they make your ice cream to order (think Blue Bottle Coffee). The ice cream was really good, but the whole schtick seemed a bit much to me. The kids definitely enjoyed watching their ice cream emerge from the liquid nitrogen fog.
